O Lord, thy love's unbounded!

Author: Anon. Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thy love's unbounded! So full, so sweet, so free! Our thoughts are all confounded, Whene'er we think on thee: For us, thou cam'st from heaven, For us to bleed and die; That, purchased and forgiven, We might ascend on high. 2 Oh, let this love constrain us To give our hearts to thee; Let nothing henceforth pain us But that which paineth thee! Our joy, our one endeavor, Through suffering, conflict, shame, To serve thee, gracious Saviour, And magnify thy name! Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:14

Sinner, turn, why will ye die?

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 540 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Maker, asks you--Why? God, who did your being give, Made you with himself to live; He the fatal cause demands, Asks the work of his own hands-- Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross his love, and die? 2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you--Why? He, who did your souls retrieve, Died himself, that ye might live. Will ye let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransomed sinners, why Will ye slight his grace, and die? 3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you--Why? He, who all your lives hath strove, Urged you to embrace his love: Will ye not his grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? Oh, ye dying sinners! why, Why will ye for ever die? Scripture: Proverbs 1:23
